The 27 year-old is no stranger to the Premier League champion, having signed with City in 2016, then loaned to Huddersfield Town six days later. After starring in the Terriers' promotion to the English top flight that season, Mooy made his deal permanent in June 2017, with City inserting a buy-back clause.

A strong showing in Russia has the Australian back n the radar of Pep Guardiola's team, which, according to ESPN, is among a host of clubs including West Ham, Everton and Southampton to be circling the gifted play-maker.
